6. Machine Maintenance

6.1. Maintenance and Inspection

Danger of injury!
Carry out the maintenance work only if the power switch is off or if the machine is disconnected from the mains.
Care and maintenance is absolutely necessary to maintain the functionality of the machine and its components. This includes: check
and adjustment of band saw guide heads and limit angles cleaning metal chips removal removing metal chips from the internal part
of the band saw arm coolantexchange lubrication of sliding surfaces and mounting checking of supply lines for damage vice check
screw connection checking limit switch checking.
Check protective devices
Check the protection devices for possible damages and faults prior to the start of everyday work.
Check power cable
Check in regular intervals, at least once a week: integrity of electric installation integrity of connections and relief from pulling
Cleaning
Clean the machine in regular intervals (always at the end of the shift, or if required, during the shift). Use suitable cleaning
agents. Do not use solvents (e.g. nitro thinner). Do not use compressed air! Compressed air would blow delicate chips and
dirt particles under sliding elements or endanger the health of personnel by flying particles.
Removal / disposal of chips
Observe the instructions and recommendations concerning safe disposal of waste produced during operation.
Correct cutting angles will be achieved when the bearing surfaces for the workpiece and the surfaces of gripping jaws are free from
metal chips or other impurities.
Coolant system cleaning
When handling coolants, risks linked to hazardous substances cannot be avoided. Observe the regulations and
recommendations (operating instructions by professional associations or your company) related to safe
handling of coolants.
The coolant tank cannot be removed from the machine base during the maintenance and cleaning.The coolant is limited by the length
of the power cable and coolant hose. Caution: Used coolant belongs to special waste category!
Our recommendations: Regular cleaning and maintenance of the coolant increases the service life and functionality of the coolant
pump. If possible, use the coolants miscible with water, non-irritant to skin and with high protection against aging and corrosion. At
least once a week, check the quality of the coolant according the coolant manufacturer's recommendations. Optimum lubrication
increases cutting productivity. There is a setting container in the the coolant tank, which needs to be cleaned during regular checks
depending on the material to be cut.
Lubrication
Regular lubrication and cleaning extend the life and functionality of the machine. During the periodic inspection, check whether there
is enough lubricant on the friction surfaces and trapezoidal screw of the vice and in friction surfaces on the movable bar of the saw
blade. Or you can lubricate these areas with grease, such as MOGUL LV 2 WR (classified in accordance with: ISO 6743 - BCHB 2,
DIN 51 502 - KP2K-20).

6.2. Repairs

Caution: Danger of injury!
Carry out repairs only when the master switch is off or secured against switching on or when the machine is
isolated from the power supply and secured against restarting. We recommend that you contact an
authorised service centre for repairs.
